MORLEY INTRODUCES THE TYE TRUJILLO TRUDRIVE WAH
SWITCHLESS WAH WITH DRIVE AND MORE DRIVE
Available July 1 at Finer Morley Dealers
Morley®, makers of Wah pedals, volume pedals, switching devices and audio solutions, is proud to announce the release of the Tye Trujillo TruDrive Wah. Tye is continuing the legacy of Morley Bass Players from Cliff Burton to Jason Newstead to his father Robert Trujillo and now Tye who is currently playing bass with Suicidal Tendencies, while also recording new music with his own band OTTTO.
Tye wanted a switchless Wah that had a built-in “Always On” drive as part of the Wah sound, and a Wah Mix control that lets you dial in the perfect amount of Wah. Additionally, there is a separate Distortion Circuit which allows for anything from a slight overdrive clip, to full on metal distortion, and anything in between. The Distortion is equipped with Level, Drive and Tone controls to let you dial in the right drive for you.
Morley’s Bill Wenzloff adds, “We are very proud to be working with Tye to develop this cool new Wah for the next generation of players. Plus, it’s a bonus that this pedal sounds great with guitar as well as bass.”
Tye also wanted the pedal to look awesome, so he decked it out in race car blue base, chrome treadle with diamond plate treadle grip and glow in the dark toe end logo. Plus, the cold-rolled steel housing makes it built to take the rigors of the road and last for years.
MAP price is $199 and is available now just in time for the summer live music season.
Official release date July 1, 2025. Taking pre-orders now!

Product Description:
TYE TRUJILLO TRUDRIVE WAH
Designed with Tye Trujillo of OTTTO and Suicidal Tendencies, this new pedal for guitar or bass combines a Wah and Drive pedal. The Wah is switchless (simply step on to engage and step off to go to bypass) and optical (no more pots to wear out or get scratchy). The Wah was designed to have a slight amount of drive built in which already give the Wah more presence and a little bite. There’s also a Wah Mix knob so you can dial in the amount of Wah you want in the signal (this is a NEW feature never offered before by Morley).
The Drive control comes with Tone, Level, and Drive control knobs to customize the drive circuit any way you see fit, from subtle distortion to full on overdrive growl.
Decked out in racing car blue base and chrome treadle along with a diamond plate treadle grip all give the TruDrive a unique and cool look that will stand out on even the busiest of pedal boards.
Uses one 9V battery or 9V adapter, equipped with LED indication and housed in cold-rolled steel housing for years of use and abuse.
Morley’s mission is to spread the word on Tye Trujillo; a fourth generation Bass player in the Metallica lineage of Morley Bass Players. From Cliff Burton to Jason Newstead to Robert Trujillo and now Tye Trujillo who is currently playing on tour with Suicidal Tendencies and recording new music with his own band OTTTO.
